10、sens childhood was a difficult one, but he had one particular shining star in his life his uncle, who was a well-known actor. The admiration and respect his uncle earned inspired Nielsen to make a career（职业）in acting. Even though he often felt he would be discovered to be a no-talent, he moved forwa
11、rd, gaining a scholarship to the Neighborhood Playhouse and making his first television appearance a few years later in 1948. However, becoming a full-time, successful actor would still be an uphill battle for another eight years until he landed a number of film roles that finally got him noticed. B
12、ut even then, what he had wasnt quite what he wanted. Nielsen always felt he should be doing comedy but his good looks and distinguished voice kept him busy in dramatic roles. It wasnt until1980 - 32 years into his career that he landed the role it would seem he was made for in Airplane! That movie
13、led him into the second half of his career where his comedic presence alone could make a movie a financial success even when movie reviewers would not rate it highly. Did Nielsen then feel content in his career? Yes and no. He was thrilled to be doing the comedy that he always felt he should do, but
14、 even during his last few years, he always had a sense of curiosity, wondering what new role or challenge might be just around the corner. He never stopped working, never retired. Leslie Nielsens devotion to acting is wonderfully inspiring. He built a hugely successful career with little more than p

He enjoyed watching movies. B. He was eager to earn money. C. He wanted to be like his uncle. D. He felt he was good at acting.
16、22. What do we know about Nielsen in the second half of his career?A. He directed some high quality movies. B. He avoided taking on new challenges. C. He focused on playing dramatic roles. D. He became a successful comedy actor. 23. What does Nielsens career story tell us?A. Art is long, life is sho

There are two parks less than 10 minutes walk from home where neighbourhood children gather to play. However, what my children want to do after school
18、is pick up a screen any screen and stare at it for hours. They are not alone. Todays children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens, split between watching television and using the Internet. In the past few years, an increasing number of people and organisations have beg
19、un coming up with plans to counter this trend. A couple of years ago, film-maker David Bond realised that his children, then aged five and three, were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say chocolate into his three-year-old sons ear without getting a response. He realised that som
20、ething needed to change, and, being a London media type, appointed himself marketing director for Nature. He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people. The result was Project Wild Thing, a film which charts the birth of the Wild Network a group
21、of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature. Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference, David Bond says. There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven, then being outdoors will
22、 be a habit for life. His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now: We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while.Summer is upon us. There is an amazing world out there, and it needs our children as much as they need it. Let us get them out an

David Bond: A Role Model for ChildrenCIf you ever get the impression that your dog can tell whether you look content or annoyed, you may be onto something. Dogs may indeed be able to distinguish between happy and angry human
26、faces, according to a new study.Researchers trained a group of 11 dogs to distinguish between images（图像）of the same person making either a happy or an angry face. During the training stage, each dog was shown only the upper half or the lower half of the persons face. The researchers then tested the
27、dogs ability to distinguish between human facial expressions by showing them the other half of the persons face or images totally different from the ones used in training. The researchers found that the dogs were able to pick the angry or happy face by touching a picture of it with their noses more
28、often than one would expect by random chance. The study showed the animals had figured out how to apply what they learned about human faces during training to new faces in the testing stage. We can rule out that the dogs simply distinguish between the pictures based on a simple cue, such as the sigh
29、t of teeth, said study author Corsin Muller. Instead, our results suggest that the successful dogs realized that a smiling mouth means the same thing as smiling eyes, and the same rule applies to an angry mouth having the same meaning as angry eyes.”With our study, we think we can now confidently co
30、nclude that at least some dogs can distinguish human facial expressions, Muller told Live Science. At this point, it is not clear why dogs seem to be equipped with the ability to recognize different facial expressions in humans. To us, the most likely explanation appears to be that the basis lies in
31、 their living with humans, which gives them a lot of exposure to human facial expressions, and this exposure has provided them with many chances to learn to distinguish between them, Muller said. 28. The new study focused on whether dogs can_.A. distinguish shapes B. make sense of human facesC. feel
32、 happy or angry D. communicate with each other29. What can we learn about the study from paragraph 2?A. Researchers tested the dogs in random order. B. Diverse methods were adopted during training. C. Pictures used in the two stages were differentD. The dogs were photographed before the test. 30. Wh
33、at is the last paragraph mainly about?A. A suggestion for future studies. B. A possible reason for the study findings. C. A major limitation of the study D. An explanation of the research method. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项Youve got mailand its a postcardPaulo Magal

Many would say the Internet is a place for people who have given up on the traditional postal service, but Paulos h

Today his hobby has developed into the website , a social network that has grown to 575,217 registered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it 10 years ago. 33 Running the website has almost turned into a full-time job. Language is certainly a barrier for many people
37、. For postcrossing to work worldwide, a common communication language is needed so that everyone can understand each other. As cool as it may be to receive a postcard written in Chinese, the concept doesnt work if one doesnt understand it. 34 So a common language is required and in postcrossing that
